Have You Ever Had A Homemade Turkey Meatloaf Like In The Video.

Once you have your meatloaf mixed up you can use a ice cream scoop to fill the muffin tin cups.

This is how your mini meatloaves will look like in a muffin pan.

Delicious Mini Meatloafs Cooked In A Muffin Pan

Here is a recipe for delicious mini meat loafs that you cook in the cups of a muffin pan. You'll want to prepare your muffin pan by spraying the pan inside the muffin cups with vegetable cooking spray. This way your mini meat loafs will slip right out of the muffin cups.

And guess what kids love these little meat loafs made this way. You can top your mini meat loafs in the muffin cups with barbecue sauce, cheese, or your favorite salsa. Why not make all three and let people pick their favorite mini meat loaf.

Mini Meatloaf Recipe And Instructions

1. One Pound Ground Beef.

2. One Half Cup Old Fashioned Oatmeal.

3. One Fourth Cup Red Or Purple Finely Chopped Sweet Onion.

4. One Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt.

5. One Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper.

6. One Large Egg.

7. One Half Cup Shredded Mexican Cheese.

Put all the ingredients but the egg into a bowl and mix well. Beat your egg very well and then add it to the mixture being sure that the egg gets mixed into the egg mixture very well. For the best flavored meat loaf use the cheaper ground beef. The leaner ground beef will never be as flavorful as the cheap ground beef.

Be Sure That Your Onion Gets Very Finely Chopped.

You want your sweet onion to be very finely chopped. You don't want any large pieces of onion in your meat loaf. Once your meat is very well mixed you can use a small ice cream scoop to scoop up the meat mixture and fill your muffin cups to make delicious miniature meat loafs.

Try putting bacon inside of some and topping those mini meat loafs with shredded cheddar cheese and just a little bit more crisp bacon bits. You won't believe what a wonderful flavor combination you have until you taste it. I promise you that kids will love them made this way.

I also like to fill some with salsa and top them with Mexican cheese for a unique flavor combination that I think you'll think is one of the best things you'll ever eat.

Toppings For Your Mini Meat Loafs

With your toppings you can either put the toppings inside the mini meat loaf or on top of the meat loaf or both. If you want to put it inside the meat loaf and on top spray your muffin pan with vegetable cooking spray and then put a ice cream scoop of the mixed meat in the bottom of the muffin cup and then some of the topping of your choice and another scoop of meat on top of the topping. Sprinkle a little more of the topping on top of that mini meat loaf.

Thank you crazyhorsesghost for such a quick response, you are amazing. I did not believe it could be brown sugar and ketchup. The recipe I tried was from the oven although I think this recipe and cooking technique will knock their socks off, it sounds delicious.

crazyhorsesghost 4 years ago from East Coast , United States Author

I added I hope what is the recipe you are looking for above. It is done in a crock pot and it has ketchup and brown sugar.

A meatloaf stuffed with mushrooms and bacon, mashed potatoes, cheddar biscuits and green bean casserole are my oldest daughter's favorite dishes and she just told me she wants your exact menu on Thanksgiving. I'll try to prepare these for her before Thanksgiving.

I am embarrassed to ask this question although I tried something and the flavor was intriquing to me. Do you have a recipe for a meatloaf that is glazed/topped with a brown sugar and tomato sauce (or ketchup)?
